Mission Statement

Helping leaders turn risk foresight into actionable steps for resilience by developing organizational capability and professional networks

Why Attend

The Executive Resilience Forum (XRF) brings together C-suite executives largely from Canada’s Fortune 500 nation-building stakeholders. Led by renowned global industry thought leaders in their area of expertise who will facilitate strategic dialogue and foster knowledge exchange, lessons learned, and contribute the latest in best practices. 

The Topics

XRF 2026 features the current top five resilience topics that keep executives awake at night:

Artificial Intelligence Adoption     Geopolitical Risk     Cyber Security Threats     Global Supply Chain Management     Extreme Weather Events/Climate Change

Round Table Format – Limited Seating!

You will attend five round tables of one-hour each comprised of only 10 peer delegates, (x 5 tables = 50 delegates). With a private board room style set-up, these intimate sessions give each delegate ample time to participate fully in each discussion.

Rapid Fire Panel

XRF culminates at the day’s end with all five Thought Leaders on stage for a lively Q&A where you have one more shot to ask the critical questions you need answers to.
